Beer: Ratings & Reviews

On tap at Cole's. Interesting combination. Bannana, clove, chocolate, and spicey sweetness. Very lacey, a tad above medium mouthfeel. Orange body but tastes like somewhat of a dark beer. Worth a try. Good drinkability. Vanilla, smooth, a bit like a top notch saki.

Thanks to charlzm for sharing this one.

Pours a clear gold with a foamy beige head that settles to wisps of film on top of the beer. No lacing on the drink down. Smell is of malt, grain, herb, spice, and ginger aromas. Taste is much the same with ginger and spice flavors on the finish. There is a mild amount of spice bitterness on the palate with each sip. This beer has a lower level of carbonation with a slightly crisp mouthfeel. Overall, this is an above average beer that has an interesting concept but is fairly boring in my opinion.

Pours a yellow color, just a bit darker than a pilsner, I'd say. A bit of a white head. The nose brings some nice spice and pepper plus some mild sweetness. The taste is mildly spicy with some yeast notes coming through. A tad bit of malt in the background. Pretty good feel and body. A really nice beer and aside from being kind of cool and gimmicky, puts together a nice package.

A: The beer is hazy yellowish amber in color and poured with a thin layer of bubbles covering the surface.S: There are light to moderate aromas of ginger in the nose along with notes of fruit, sweetness and yeast.T: The taste is very similar to the smell and has a light amount of sweetness; flavors of ginger stand out in particular.M: It feels medium-bodied on the palate and has a moderate amount of carbonation.D: The beer isn't that difficult to drink but is one that needs to be sipped.

Single finger head with excellent lacing on a hazy golden body. Aroma is excellent with grains, corn, fruits, spices, ginger and floral notes. The flavor is very unique As the ginger is well represented and perfectly applied. Additional notes of floral, candy sugar, grains and breads. Medium body and moderate carbonation. This is a very complex and unique brew with many flavor transitions, definitely a must try.

Expecting great things here. The beer poured a strong straw to golden color with a promising viscuous thickness. Typical belgian carbonation (heavy) with terrific retention, but not so much on the lacing. Smells very malty sweet (Eisbock-like) with a pungent Belgian character and earthy hoppiness. Tastes very sweet and rich, so much that it overwhelms the belgian and hop characters, religating them to backup flavors. Feels quite heavy and nearly syrupy, with a spicy heat and moderately bitter character. Finishes sweet and a bit sticky on top of a hop dryness. Again, Thanks Clvand0.

Bottle courtesy of Boboski: Poured a light amber color ale with a huge foamy head with great retention and lacing. Aroma of spices is intriguing and hard to pinpoint the exact spices used in this beer. Taste comprised a nice mix of spices which may include some ginger as well as orange peel but there is not as much spices as I was expecting. There some malt presence with some sweetness which may be due to the use of honey. Overall, I was expecting something a bit more radical or at least different and instead it seems I got an average spice beer.

This beer poured out as a nice looking amber color, the head was big at first but subsided quickly and left some light bubbles on the glass. The smell is spicy, hints of herbs and some citrus in there too. The taste had some interesting ginger flavors along with plenty of other spices. The mouthfeel was nicely carbonated and had a good body to it. Overall I enjoyed the Pangaea a lot, looking forward to having it again one day.

Ripe kumquat with a Belgianesque amount of carbonation. I enjoyed the loud popgun POP! on cork removal. The orange-tinted bone white cap is a good color match for the beer on which it sits. However, it doesn't compare to the beautiful crowns on most Belgian beer. The foam is stiff and utterly unsticky, making a clean glass a foregone conclusion. I love the rich color of the liquid too much to let the appearance score dip too low.

The nose is authentically Belgian, thanks to a true Belgian yeast strain. Other than crystallized ginger from Australia, water from Anarctica and basmati rice from Asia, I couldn't find a listing of the rest of the ingredients (one each from the seven continents of the world). The aroma is primarily earthy, woody and spicy. In fact, it smells a little like some of the Fantome saisons to me.

Pangaea tastes like something that Brasserie Fantome might brew... only a hell of a lot less complex. I'm surprised at how spicy and how dominated by crystallized ginger it is. I like ginger, but I would have preferred to taste something else as well. The result is a flavor profile that is needlessly simple and one-dimensional. That doesn't mean that the beer isn't good, but it could have been so much more.

I'm not sure that BSPA is the proper style. I would have chosen saison, as alluded to above. Alongside the spiciness is a woody, balsam and sandlewood, autumn potpourri flavor that isn't entirely successful in giving the beer a distinctive personality. An underlying sweetness helps rather than hinders. Finally, I don't mind the hint of unmasked alcohol since it gives the beer a strength of purpose that it otherwise lacks.

The mouthfeel is Belgian in personality even if it isn't the equal of the best from that country. I'm impressed by the way in which it manages to incorporate all those bubbles without being overly fizzy. Having said that, I can't pull the trigger on expansively silky smooth, which is my preferred mouthfeel for a Belgian-style ale.

Pangaea is another Dogfish Head concept beer that sounds better on paper than it tastes. Inspiration at the conception stage is all well and good. However, inspiration at the execution stage is infinitely more important. While I'm glad for the experience, I won't be buying another bottle. Especially not at $10.99.

Picked up this bottle up in Brawleys a while back but never got around to trying it until last night. 750 ml bottle, served chilled and poured into a goblet. Consumed on 08/15/2008.

Poured a nice golden color, lots of haze and cloudiness here. Nice white fluffy head kept up pretty good for the first few minutes then settled down gracefully with a light side glass lacing. Nice carbonation was also apparent.

The aroma was dominated by the ginger, so much so that it pretty much drown everything else out. Letting it warm let out some light citrus notes and a touch of grain, but pretty average and ginger dominated. Muc more of the same in the flavor, especially the finish which was totally ginger driven. Lots of light hops and a touch of grain and some light vinous notes. Light body and well hidden alcohol. Certainly a bit more then a sipper.

Overall, ehh. This was kinda avergae for me, nothing really big going on and the ginger was light but yet still dominant as the rest of it was pretty darn boring. Not another one for me here.

Shared by Arbitrator. Thanks, Arbi. Crystal clear pale gold with a small white cap that quickly dissipates. Reeks of signature Dogfish Head cloying sweetness. Caramel, green apples and ham-handed ginger make up the rest of the aroma; it's reminiscent of braggot. Similarly cloying on the palate, heavy ginger flavor, syrupy sweetness, honey, caramel. Syrupy and difficult to drink, this is quite terrible. Yet another gimmicky DFH beer with excessive sweetness and not enough complexity or balance.

Pours a deep hazy orange with a huge blooming fluffy head that leaves a nice amount of lacing,aroma of honey comes thru and some sweet malt.Taste is fresh and lightly sweet I pick up a hint of the ginger in the finish also some light medicinal notes.I like this brew fresh tasting bursting with flavors.I see I like it more than most.
